They provide a wide range of services, including installing marine electronics, seating, storage solutions, safety equipment, and other accessories.

These skills ensure safe, high-quality installations and modifications that meet both regulatory standards and client expectations.

Boat Outfitters often encounter challenges such as interpreting unique client specifications, sourcing specialized materials, and ensuring custom installations meet safety and marine industry standards. Communication with both clients and other team members—such as designers, electricians, or mechanics—is key to overcoming these hurdles and delivering high-quality results. Adapting to new technologies and materials is also essential, as customer preferences and industry trends evolve frequently.

Job description

Overview
Overview:
General Dynamics Electric Boat is one of the only two shipyards that produce submarines for the US Navy and there's never been a better time to join. The US Navy has a demand for cutting-edge naval capability and technology never seen before, and Electric Boat is the vanguard-designing, building, and maintaining the most advanced submarines in the world. Our work is mission-critical work in supporting the U.S. Navy and strengthening national security.
About D201 - Process Improvement Engineering
Our mission is to enable the success of the shipbuilders of Groton Shipyard to be safe and successful as they build and test the most advanced vessels in the US Navy. You will use techniques and strategies from Lean, Six Sigma, Continuous Improvement, Theory of Constraints, team facilitated problem solving, and culture transformation to create breakthrough improvements in span times, quality, and performance. You will guide organizations in developing and implementing improvement strategies and creating tangible & significant improvements.
Role Overview:
The successful candidate will be hands on with the shipbuilders and other organizations. You will see how submarines are made and facilitate teams of workers in solving the largest constraints. The methods will be logical, data driven, and collaborative.
Selected candidates will be responsible for the application of Lean Six Sigma principles to investigate, analyze and facilitate process change directly resulting in reduced lead times, improved quality, reduced costs, and improved safety within the manufacturing and outfitting areas at Groton.
One critical challenge the candidate will face is the massive amount of non-linear production where the manufacturing activities aren't the endless repeats of a few processes, but rather high levels of diversity in the work being performed. Selected candidates will take the foundational principles and tools of the various continuous improvement methodologies and expand them to solve issues around the massive amount of coordination in submarine production. This role will rarely be about optimizing linear (assembly line style) flow or local optimization, but high-mix, low volume and system coordination.

Responsibilities include:
  • Assist organizations in identifying, planning, and implementing Process Improvements and Lean Six Sigma Projects and ensure they align with company objectives
  • Lead teams on projects to improve safety and quality, reducing cost, and improving schedule performance
  • Give presentations to Managers & Directors
  • Create Groton Operations Metric packages
  • Facilitate and lead meetings with various leadership positions
  • Fostering a culture of continuous improvement in the organization
  • Work with leadership and employees on applying Lean and Six Sigma approaches to help achieve process excellence
  • Provide mentorship to employees when leading change
  • Identify and eliminate the barriers that prevent successful attainment of company's improvement goals

Selected candidates will demonstrate strong project management skills capable of progressing multiple projects at the same time while controlling project spans and delivering on objectives. The ability to work under minimal supervision and in a team environment. Candidates must be capable of combining assertive initiative while maintain stakeholder support to accomplish challenging tasks, work as Change Agents to remove barriers that hinder change, and earn the trust & respect of everyone from front-line employees, to supervision, to the leadership team, and our military and civilian Navy customers.
Selected MDA applicants will remain in their current job title.
This position is located at the Groton, CT location.
